Battle Of New Orleans Lyrics

Artist: Jim Ed Brown
Album: Country's Best On Record

In eighteen-fourteen we took a little tripAlong with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'We took a little bacon and we took a little beansAnd we met the bloody British near the town of New OrleansWe fired our guns and the British kept a comin'There wasn't night as many as there was a while agoWe fired once more and they began to runnin'Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British comeAnd there must've been a hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drumsThey stepped so high and they made their bugles ringWhile we stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thingWe fired our guns...[ harmonica ]Old Hickory said we'd take 'em by surpriseIf we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyesWe held our fire till we seed their faces wellThen we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em hellYeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the bramblesAnd they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't goThey ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'emDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWell we fired our cannon till the barrel melted downThen we grabbed an alligator and we fought another roundWe filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behindAnd when we took the powder off the gator lost his mindWe fired our guns...We fired our guns...
